She took to Twitter to complain about her discomfort after watching the E4 installment of the dating reality show last week.

Last year, Sinitta spoke exclusively to MailOnline about her relationship with Simon Cowell over the years, admitting she experienced heartbreak when he “broke their secret pact” by dating his “best friend” Lauren Silverman in 2013.

She believed that the couple would rekindle their romance at the same time.

The TV personality said of her hopes for a future with Simon: “It was about 10 years ago and yeah, I still wanted to be with him, yeah.” That was upsetting and… unrequited love, but I’m not going to kill myself over it.

“It was kind of on and off, intermittently, so there was kind of an unspoken understanding that was obviously a misunderstanding on my part, but that’s okay.”

“I’m not the villain because I really thought we were figuring things out and that’s why it was annoying, but that’s life, right? You might meet someone at your wedding.

The X Factor creator met Lauren while she was still married to millionaire property developer Andrew.

Their affair went public and Simon’s life changed at the end of July 2013 when news broke of Lauren’s pregnancy with son Eric.

In 2009, Sinitta spoke to MailOnline again, revealing details about her previous marriage to Andy Willner.

After splitting up for nearly two years at the time, she said she thought “a lot” of Andy.

‘Every day I remember more and more good things about my husband. As you heal, you think, “Why did we break up? Why did I leave you in the first place?”

She also described Simon as her ‘escape’, and she from him, as they relaxed on billionaire Sir Philip Green’s yacht with his wife Tina.

‘With Simon, I could sit on a boat for two weeks and just relax. We escape together. That’s probably how it is with us. I am his escape, I would say, and he is mine. On the ship, I was able to think, “Okay, when my babies come back, we’ll start a new life.”

“I love him with all my heart,” he says. “When we are together, he is a very important person in my life. But he wants to be a single man.

You want to see who you want to see when you want to see them. I am a very monogamous woman. I need someone to put me first all the time.

She added that her relationship with Simon was an “unbelievable, indefinable friendship”.

‘I like the familiarity, the security, and I really trust him. A lot of people would love to get back together, and I can see why. I’ve even said to him, “Why don’t we do it?”

‘But I think our lives have become so complicated now. I have the kids, and he has this crazy run.
